Equivelant Exchange is to take something, but in return give something of equal value. So, my question is; Why didn't Mustang get anything in return?

Yes, by far one of the best anime EVER!!!

And I realise that there is a chance of this already being answered, but I would like to answer it because I dont get many chances to display my knowledge of the anime

Whenever someone has performed Human transmutation, there has been one common factor. The ability to use alchemy without the need of a Transmutation circle. That is what whoever performs the taboo gains in return for what ever was taken.

Izumi lost some of her internal organs when she tried to bring her child back.
Edward lost his left leg when he and Al tried to bring their mother back to life.
Alphonse lost his entire body when he and Ed tried to bring their mother back to life.
Roy lost his eye sight when he was forced to perform it by pride.

The only exceptions to this are Father and Von Hoenheim. Mainly because Father himself is the embodiment of the Philosopher Stone, whereas Von Hoenheim was turned into a Philosopher Stone due to the Xerxes incident.

He was given the chance to go through the "Truth" or whatever it's called, and gained the ability to perform alchemy without transmutation circles. How could you miss that? o_o

I read it again and found out, Idk why I thought differently back then I also think he was able to make the same alchemy as Ed and Al.

I just hope that my memory serves me justice with this answer

Yes it really is! Well... Samurai Champloo and FMA are on par, aha. Thanks for the info, Idk what I was thinking back then, now I know though
